Summary

Royerton Elementary School is a K–5 school in Muncie, Indiana, serving 596 students as part of Delaware Community School Corp, and it is the largest school among its nearby comparison schools. In 2025–26 it ranked 217th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 79th percentile with 4 stars, a strong statewide standing but a continued slide from the 95th–97th percentile and 5 stars it earned in 2015–16 through 2017–18.

Math and Social Studies are the clear strengths. All-grades Math proficiency is 64.14%, about 12.9 percentage points above the district and well above state results at every grade level tested. Fifth-grade Social Studies is 69.32%, more than 22 points above the state, and has held near 69% for two years. ELA is above both state and district overall at 48.97%, but it is the weaker side of the school's profile, with a Math–ELA gap of roughly 15 points; fifth-grade ELA is above the state but below the district. Science is the most volatile subject, dropping from 60% in 2024–25 to 52.04% in 2025–26.

Attendance is a major bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 8.3% in 2024–25, well below district and state averages, and only Eaton Elementary School did better nearby at 6.2%. Eaton is also the closest academic peer and currently holds an edge in rank, ELA, Math, Science, and attendance, while Albany Elementary School ranks 488th (52nd percentile) and nearby Muncie Community Schools rank far lower with much higher absenteeism. Royerton has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (41.28%) of the nearby group, the second-lowest per-pupil spending ($9,825), and one of the higher student-teacher ratios (16.6) — efficient outcomes rather than outspending peers. Watch items to monitor: the long-term rank decline, the relatively weaker ELA position, and the latest Science dip.
